I want to ask if there is a alternative wireless adpater I can use for the Xbox 360?

I have a laptop w/wireless bluetooth built in,maybe I can use a CAT5 cable and run it from the laptop to the Xbox 360 to pick up internet access. I also thought using a regular USB wireless adpater would work.

Anyone know?

you can bridge the connection with your laptop yes, are you asking how to do it? or are you saying you are already doing that and is there anything else you can do?

a usb wireless adapter will not work, since the xbox has no drivers for it. Does it have to be wireless? Where is the router at? you could always get a switch for like $10 if you have an access point to run a cable to both your 360 and laptop. Honestly I do not think wireless is very reliable for gaming.

My wireless router is upstairs and my laptop works great downstairs where the xbox is @.

I havent tried it yet,but I do have a CAT5 cable I can use to connect my lapotp to the Xbox.

When I connect it to my laptop will have to do anything else to make it work besides turn on the laptop?
